Arnaiz joined Barcelona from Real Valladolid in the summer and has been playing in their B team, but made a goalscoring debut for Ernesto Valverde’s side against Real Murcia in the Copa del Rey in midweek.
He currently has a €20 million release clause, with Arsenal and United, along with Bayern Munich, keeping tabs on Arnaiz’s progress.

Barcelona are ready to move for Antoine Griezmann next summer and are willing to pay €100 million to land the Atletico Madrid star, reports Mundo Deportivo .

Barcelona sporting director Robert Fernandez watched Anthony Martial during Manchester United’s Champions League victory over Benfica, reports Mundo Deportivo .

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is so confident he'll be transferring to Manchester United, he's already begun telling his Gunners team-mates, according to The Mirror.
After Arsene Wenger admitted last week that the Gunners could end up selling Ozil in January, the 29-year-old feels he is set to join Jose Mourinho, his former manager at Real Madrid, at Old Trafford in 2018.
Ozil's contract is set to expire at the end of the current season, so Arsenal could attempt to sell him in January to avoid losing him on a free.
Though he's yet to play this season due to injury, Arsenal and Manchester United have still been monitoring Borussia Dortmund winger Marco Reus, according to The Sun .
The 28-year-old Germany international is currently rehabbing from a cruciate ligament injury, and is expected to return early in 2018.

Manchester United are scouting 20-year-old Espanyol defender Aaron Martin, ESPN claims.

Juan Mata has rejected an offer from the Chinese Super League that would have seen him make £375,000 per week after tax, The Sun reports.

The 29-year-old received the huge offer from an unnamed side last month, but has no interest in following the big money to China and hopes to stay at Old Trafford.
